RE: comparing the 6L6 sound to EL34

Those look like 6L6ga?

The 6L6ga will only handle 360vdc on the plate and the Max plate dissipation rating in only 19 watts.

The 6L6gc will do 500vdc and 30 watts dissipation.

The EL34 will do 500vdc (or more) and 25 watts plate dissipation.

I don't know the voltage of your amp but you might want to check (if you haven't already) the plate to cathode voltage and the plate dissipation you're subjecting those tubes to.
